Free Friday

Today is the last day to comment on the Gratitude post and be entered to win a gift certificate to the school store!

Next week is our last week of the trimester – you’re almost there! Has it flown by for you? While you’re working on progress reports, finalizing history day costumes, and gathering items to help out with our Early American Recitation Bee and Fair (please visit the Volunteer Sign-Up google doc to sign up!), we hope you are enjoying the learning happening at home.

One reminder: you won’t want to miss the “Organize Your Area Homeschool Seminar” today at 1:30 pm in Lewis Library. It’s the perfect time to pick up a few nuggets of inspiration and try something new. Bring in one organizational trick to share, and be ready to learn from each other!

Amidst all the busy tasks and events, let’s take a deep breath and enjoy a little moment of humor today. Here’s a goofy, short video from “BoredShorts” – these guys make videos of grownups acting out stories that kids tell. This is one you may relate to:

As you head into the weekend, we want to encourage you to be “Free by 5:00” and purposefully carve out some time to connect face to face with friends and family.

If you’re feeling very adventurous and spontaneous, here’s a last-minute idea for an out of town trip. There’s a Civil War Reenactment happening in Moorpark this weekend, and it sounds amazing. Click here to learn more.

Happy Friday!

About Us

Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy's blog! We are a classical school offering options to make education work for families. We have a full hybrid program for grades K-8, which means two days at school with three days of home education, all days following the classical model and curricula carefully laid out by the school. We also have a four day program available for grades 5-8. Our high school students attend school three days each week. This blog is meant to support and encourage on the home front because in so many ways, the heart of what happens at SLO Classical Academy happens down home. Semper discentes - always learning together.
